The optimal dose of the Low-level laser therapy in the treatment of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Type 1 DM (T1DM) is caused by an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic ß cells. We proposed a novel stimulation using a low-level laser therapy (LLLT) through acupuncture points to stimuli the stem cells to be adult pancreatic ß cells. This study aime...
